ive made a skill which lays down a mine n explode upon contact, stunning a target (regains conscienceness if attacked).
heres the trigger

Lay Trap
Events
Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Stun Trap
Actions
Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Triggering player) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
Set Bomb[1] = (Last created unit)
Unit - Add Concusive to Bomb[1]
Unit - Order Bomb[1] to Undead Dreadlord - Sleep (Random unit from (Units within 200.00 of (Position of Bomb[1]) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True)))
Wait 2.00 seconds
Unit - Remove Bomb[1] from the game

the problem is how do i remove the limit of 1 bomb at a time cause the variable is fix to only 1 unit at a time. theres probably a custom script out there (not an expert in that so much help is needed)

You're living only because it's illegal killing.

Add an expiration timer to the last created instead of removing it 2 seconds later.

Exactly as skyblader said.
By the way, your trigger leaks. Set the Position of Triggering unit to a point variable, set the position of Bomb[1] into a point variable, set the Units within 200 of your last created point variable to a unit group variable, then remove those leaks:
call RemoveLocation(udg_YourPointsVariable)
call DestroyGroup(udg_YourGroupVariable)

go to the "Turtorials and Resources" Sub-Forum and search for a turtorial about "Memory leaks".

memory leaks are a common issue unexperienced wc3 map makers encounter.
basically it means that each time this trigger is run another bit of your random access memory "RAM" is used to save the 2 locations and the unit group you use. that means at some point, after several runs of this trigger, all the RAM of your computer, or whoever is playing that map, will have no RAM left and the programm will lag or freeze.

of course, this trigger doesnt leak that badly cause computers nowadays are pretty powerful. still, it is a flaw of your trigger which can easily be avoided by using a temporary variable and a line of custom script.

what you need to do is saving the unit group / location into a variable, like this:
Code:
Set Temp_Point = (Position of (Triggering Unit))
and then you use it:
Code:
Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Triggering player) at Temp_Point facing Default building facing degrees
and then you remove it:
Code:
custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)

similar for unit groups. better read that stuff up in a turtorial, its a bit much to write for me right now.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
